At Nucar Ford of Lebanon, compare the 2027 Ford Explorer configurations that fit your passenger needs, driving preferences, and budget. For cross-river commuting involving I-91 or a weekend with the family, the Explorer offers choices ranging from everyday utility to premium comfort and performance.
For 2027, Explorer ST offers a new Sinister Package with dark styling details, distinctive wheels, and amber accent lighting. Platinum adds an available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 through the 3.0L Ultimate Package. Selected configurations also offer new Avalanche Gray and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat paint choices.
Tremor models equipped with the available V6 can add the Sun and Sound Package, bringing upgraded audio, massaging front seats, and a power moonroof. Paint, packages, and equipment vary by configuration, and some selections cost extra.
Active focuses on everyday utility with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, heated front seats, a power liftgate, and second-row captain’s chairs. A 10-way power driver’s seat, tri-zone automatic temperature control, and Ford Digital Experience provide practical comfort and connectivity.
ST-Line combines the four-cylinder engine with black exterior accents, 20-inch wheels, and red interior stitching. A 360-degree camera, heated steering wheel, and 10-speaker B&O Sound System distinguish it from Active. It suits shoppers who want sporty styling without moving to the ST’s V6 powertrain.
Tremor adds standard Intelligent 4WD, an off-road-tuned suspension, increased ride height, all-terrain tires, and underbody protection. Its Torsen limited-slip rear axle helps manage traction on uneven surfaces. The available V6 provides another engine choice, while the cabin uses a six-passenger layout.
Platinum emphasizes comfort with heated, ventilated, massaging front seats with leather inserts, a 14-speaker B&O Sound System, and PowerFold third-row seats. Available premium leather seating surfaces and the 3.0L Ultimate Package offer further upgrades for shoppers prioritizing cabin appointments.

Seating and Cargo Flexibility for Family LifeStandard second-row captain’s chairs provide seating for six.
